Ww1 Unit 1 Research Paper

From 1939 through 1941 millions were faced with the violence and devastation of World War II. Life on the Homefront in the United States and Great Britain was difficult and overwhelming.World War II was one of the most bloody battles in history, and most of whom were civilians.In this paper, we will explore what life is like for people during a terrifying war.

The war to end all wars, the great war, or more commonly as World War I, was the first global war that lasted a total four years from 1914 to 1918. A war that claimed a tragic estimated 8 million casualties can be traced back to one important event that, one could argue, changed society forever. This event was the assassination of the then Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand, by a Serbian Nationalist by the name of Gavrilo princip. As a result, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, causing Europe to split into two sides, the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. The Triple Alliance later became known as the Central Powers and consisted of Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary while on the other hand, the Triple Entente took up the moniker of The Allied Forces and was made up of France, Russia, and Great Britain. For the soldiers most of their combat took place in trenches, long narrow ditches dug deep in the ground to prevent enemy soldiers from advancing, where they were bombarded and exposed to diseases. In fact, the planes used to bombard trenches were first tasked to spy on the enemy as a tactic. Speaking of planes and machines, WWI led to improvements in technology with more efficient weapons and such things like guns, artillery, tanks, the airforce.

A novel written by Erich Maria Remarque, describes in clutching detail his first person account of World War I from the German front. The author and his classmates enlist in the German army at the age of 19. Leaving life as they know it to fight for a cause they are unsure of. They experience the devastation of trench warfare, from constant bombardments down to hand to hand combat. However the author does not only tell his experience of combat. There is more to war then that, there are mental, physical and emotional struggles that men only experience during the struggles of war.

“European nations began World War 1 with a glamorous vision of war, only to be psychologically shattered by the realities of the trenches,” (“Virginia Postrel”). This quote was said by Virginia Postrel referring to how the European nations expected the war to be quick but instead it was slow and taxing on both the soldiers and nations participating in “The Great War.” Prior to 1917, the United States remained neutral in World War 1 due to the citizens of America feeling the United States were in a remote location compared to the war. When the United States joined the war the current president Woodrow Wilson insisted on being referred to as a member of the Associated Power instead of the Allied Power. The United States was the only

Drew what challenges did you face, and how did you all adapt to the new circumstances?

Technology contributes immensely to the field of warfare. However, it is not the sole source of innovation. Exceedingly, it is the need for new or improving methods that force change. Subsequently technology is not the root of innovation, rather it is a contributing factor. The true driving force for innovation is necessity. No saying best describes this aspect than the quote from Plato’s book The Republic, “a true creator is necessity, which is the mother of our invention.”

Unsung heroes in an unspoken war. The Second World War was the most ubiquitous and baleful war in history resulting in over 60 million deaths and the involvement of over 30 different countries. Over the Pacific Ocean, another war in Japan and China was happening. This unspoken war is a huge secret in our history of war. Japan's cruel treatment of the Chinese during World War 2 includes biological/chemical warfare, torture of prisoners, and complete disregard of their humanity.

Study sources A-D. Explain how useful these sources have been in informing you in your enquiry into the impact of new technology on methods of fighting in the air in WW1 and WW2.

During World War Two China was considered the USA’s greatest ally in Asia. In 1949 when China was taken over by the the communist, many people were shocked. The subsequent search for an explanation of what took place in China shook-up the US government creating poisonous blame and accusations that would set back America diplomacy and foreign policy for many years.

World War I, which lasted from 1914 to 1918, was one of the bloodiest wars in the history of the world, its horrors surpassed only by World War II. The start of the war can be traced back to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in June 1918 by Gavrilo Princip, a member of a Bosnian Serb rebel group wishing to liberate ethnically Serbian parts of Bosnia from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and integrate them with the neighboring Kingdom of Serbia. The assassination led to a cascade of events which ended in full scale conflict in Europe and other parts of the world between the Allied Powers, consisting of most notably France, the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, Italy and later in the war, the United States, and the Central Powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. The war ended four years later with the defeat of the Central Powers. The Treaty of Versailles drafted in 1919, was one of the numerous attempts by the Allied Powers to achieve revenge on Germany and dismantle its economy. The treaty caused great unrest in Germany and dissatisfaction with the nascent postwar German government, the Weimar Republic. The unrest and dissatisfaction led to the rise of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP or Nazi Party) and its intent to destroy and replace the Weimar Republic. The aftermath of World War I, including the treatment of Germans by the Allied Powers through the Treaty of Versailles led to a rise in radical German nationalism

Good and bad, one against another; two specific words that could instantly express an idea, a description. Classical tragedy was the war between good and evil. We wanted evil to be defeated and good to be victorious. But the battle in modern tragedy is between good and good. And no matter which side wins, we'll still be heartbroken -Asghar Farhadi; the conditions after World War I left the people of Germany in need of many things. In such a circumstance, a man comes in feeding these people’s thoughts, he says he will help them. Catching their attention even further is the way he decides to act upon such disruption. Could there have been another choice? Think of it, someone comes upon saying they could fix the issues, they will get rid of all those interferences to a better living. Becoming such a person was not a choice; there was certainly a lot at stake, the society's needs, fear, a way out of poverty, anti-semitic propaganda and the Treaty of Versailles.

World War I was one of the most deadly wars with more than eight million people dead and twenty one million people wounded. It was devastating war that involved many different nations and affected many more. The day that the fighting ended was unlike any seen since the beginning of the war. It was described in a newspaper as “Last night for the first time since August in the first year of the war, there was no light of gunfire in the sky, no spreading glow above black trees where for four years of nights human beings were smashed to death. The fires of hell had been put out” (Perry, Scholl, Davis, Harris, Van Laue pg 634).” And on that day, November 11, 1918, “soldiers on both sides came out of the trenches and cheered” (Perry, Scholl, Davis, Harris, Van Laue pg 634). Both sides were happy for the war to be over, so a

World War One was known as the First World War or The Great War. It began on the 28th of July 1914 and lasted until the 11th of November 1918. Thirty countries were involved in the war. Over nine million soldiers died and twenty one million were wounded. Undeniably World War One was one of the biggest and most devastating wars in history. Trench warfare took those who signed up by complete surprise. A war that was intended to be all about movement became stagnant. Soldiers were very much stuck in the trenches and experienced horrendous conditions. As a result the use of terrifying new technologies not used before were created in a response to the conditions of trench warfare. This resulted in trench warfare being changed forever due to the introduction of the tank in 1915.

Global conflict is an inevitable affair that occurs tirelessly each day, whether it be a civil war or between the most heavily artilerated countries on earth, we must ask ourselves, has World War III already begun? Warning signs of this war have been screaming at us for almost two decades, however our leaders are to naive to address this issue, they seem more focused on further engaging in this war rather than putting an end it.
